Triazine bis(pyridinium) hydrogen sulfate ionic liquid immobillized on functionalized halloysite nanotubes as an efficient catalyst for one-pot synthesis of naphthopyranopyrimidines

Abstract

1,1′-(6-(Propyl amino)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4-diyl)bis(pyridinium) hydrogen sulfate immobillized on halloysite nanotubes [(PATDBP)(HSO4)2@HNT] as a solid acid nanocatalyst was successfully synthesized and characterized by various analysis techniques such as FT-IR, TGA, SEM/EDX, elemental mapping, TEM and elemental analysis. This catalyst was found to be highly efficient for the convenient synthesis of naphthopyranopyrimidine derivatives through a one-pot three-component reaction of β-naphthol, aldehydes andN,N-dimethylbarbituric acid in excellent yields under solvent-free conditions. Furthermore, the catalyst could be recovered and reused five times without any notable loss of its activity. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2021.
